The actual guard may be more important targets than some random lot, barely knowing how to fight or cast magic.Why should the dragon waste its powerful breath at some rubble from the streets instead of the trained soldiers?I can guess which mindset is behind this line of thinking:Players characters are the only persons that matter, everyone else is unimportant. And the DM has to always challenge the players fairly, because the PCs should be able to solve every problem.This in fact is the opposite of what in my opinion should happen at the beginning. If my DM would specifically attack me with a dragon, I would ask him, why of all the more important targets would he pick me out to kill.So I have not read more from your review, but it seems to boil down to playing style.</blockquote>
